+### Empty lines
+
+*Black* will allow single empty lines left by the original editors,
+except when they're added within parenthesized expressions. Since such
+expressions are always reformatted to fit minimal space, this whitespace
+is lost.
+
+It will also insert proper spacing before and after function definitions.
+It's one line before and after inner functions and two lines before and
+after module-level functions. *Black* will put those empty lines also
+between the function definition and any standalone comments that
+immediately precede the given function. If you want to comment on the
+entire function, use a docstring or put a leading comment in the function
+body.

## Change Log
-### 18.3a2 (unreleased)
+### 18.3a3
+
+* don't remove single empty lines outside of bracketed expressions
+ (#19)
+
+* added ability to pipe formatting from stdin to stdin (#25)
+
+* restored ability to format code with legacy usage of `async` as
+ a name (#20, #42)
+
+* even better handling of numpy-style array indexing (#33, again)
+
+
+### 18.3a2
+
+* changed positioning of binary operators to occur at beginning of lines
+ instead of at the end, following [a recent change to PEP8](https://github.com/python/peps/commit/c59c4376ad233a62ca4b3a6060c81368bd21e85b)
+ (#21)
+
+* ignore empty bracket pairs while splitting. This avoids very weirdly
+ looking formattings (#34, #35)
+
+* remove a trailing comma if there is a single argument to a call
+
+* if top level functions were separated by a comment, don't put four
+ empty lines after the upper function
+
+* fixed unstable formatting of newlines with imports
+
+* fixed unintentional folding of post scriptum standalone comments
+ into last statement if it was a simple statement (#18, #28)
* fixed missing space in numpy-style array indexing (#33)
